Three New Ways to Wear a Plain T-Shirt

Move over, Miami Vice. This year, designers are pairing the plain t-shirt with extremely high fashion pieces for a casual yet cool vibe to the latest additions to their spring creation. The most basic of tops is back for spring but in the most unexpected of ways. So store your skinny jeans and denim shorts and look towards the runway, here are the three of the latest bottoms to stylishly rock fashion’s plainest of plain tops: The Maxi Skirt: I recently saw Kate Bosworth rocking the Maxi Skirt/Plain Tee combination and just fell in love. It embodied the perfect combination of high-fashion and effortless cool. The outfit personified intriguing and sleek with a modern edge that seemed inspired straight from world of art deco. Add a stunning belt to include a little more sex appeal. My pick: Winter Kate by Nicole Richie’s Health Maxi Skirt The Fancy Knee-Length Skirt: Not just any knee-length skirt. I’m talking about the latest craze of over-the-top knee length skirts. Whether it’s miles of tulle or adorned with seams full of feathers, the plain t-shirt is being matched with the fanciest of knee-length numbers to help balance out the distinction of cute or quirky skirt style. The plain t-shirt plays the perfect co-star to aid any fancy bottom in taking center stage. My pick: Matthew Williamson Embellished Linen Blend SkirtHarem Pants: Comfortable and a soon-to-be staple, harem pants are the more sophisticated and fashionable take on bottoms choices this season. Worn with a plain to for a bit of edge and funkiness, it won’t be hard to trade in your denim for a pair of these urban-ready favorites. My pick: Material Girl Printed Relaxed Harem Pants - Mira Torres
